Hi gamers, what did you play this year? What was your favourite game?
bonus question - Are you going to grab anything at the Steam winter sale?

I am a basic RPG nerd, so my favorites were:
I also really enjoyed Outlanders as a city builder/strategy game.
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and currently Baldur's Gate 3 were/are my favorites!
Yeah I pre ordered Rogue Trader owlcat's new game and am just gonna wait a few more weeks for them to fix the bugs. Love owlcat's games but I know how buggy they are at release. At least it looks like each game is less bug filled then the last hope that trend continues.
Yeah, I just got Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, but will wait for now.
I started it on PS5 yesterday and it's been smooth sailing so far. No real issues, which is shocking. Only on Act 2, though. As a total newcomer to the 40k universe, it's fun as hell.
That's good news, I have been interested in it too and have no experience with 40K at all outside of knowing that it exists basically.

How tf is the Emperor handing out Warrants when he's pretty much a corpse?

I really want to play that. I've read it has incredible range of choices, similar to Wrath of the Righteous actually. I've never done anything with 40K setting before, so hopefully I'm not lost.
I'm playing it right now and it's pretty good. It captures the 40k atmosphere quite nicely. So far the story and combat have been pretty fun. My only problem is that some fights are way too long due to the massive scope of the maps.
did you play PF: Kingmaker? How did Wrath compare?
Wrath is miles better. Way more QoL features and a better overall progression system. I got locked in Kingmaker like 20 hours in and ruined my save game. Wrath doesn't do this kind of shit. And the story itself is better. Mythic Paths are also awesome if you want several playthrough.
I did not play Kingmaker. I had heard Wrath was the better game, so I just jumped there. The Pathfinder system honestly intimidates the hell out of me. And I GM a Shadowrun table. It really just seems like incredible levels of crunch, and I'm happy to have the computer do it for me. But even with that wasn't sure I would like it, but it was honestly one of the better CRPG experiences I've had.
It is far above Kingmaker (which wasn't bad but had a ton of issues); in fact I still place it above BG3 (specifically for the scenario, writing, setting, and ruleset - all above BG3 by far) though I'd likely be in the minority in that. Truly the best "generalist" CRPG I played since BG2.
I loved Sea of Stars. I will preach that gospel day and night!
